Sie leben unter dem Schuppen und gehen nur nachts aus.
Ich frage mich, was essen sie? Ist es möglich, dass Slugs ihre grundlegende Nahrungsquelle ist?

Oh my good you are so lucky. I would kill for this! Actually, I’m glad I don’t get them because I’d be bankrupt in a week feeding them. If you want to give them a treat give them an egg or some chicken. Just be warned if you do feed them they’ll keep coming back so that’s a decision for you to make.
Slugs carry lungworm which can be fatal in mammals if not treated. I would hope they avoid them (unless they’re starving) Much more likely they’re eating squirrels, rats, mice, birds, beetles, larvae and hedgehogs. Lots of babies around this time of year which will make it easier for the cubs to learn to hunt. (*It’s the CIRRRRRCCCCLLLEE of LiiiiiiFE*) Would make sure yours and the neighbours’ rubbish is secure though. If they’re not looking mangy and skinny I’d avoid feeding them as you said.
You could contact your local wildlife rescue for advice, often they’re on social media. There are national organisations too. I’d avoid broadcasting their whereabouts just in case some nutcase decides to poison or bring their dogs round.
Lovely footage, warms my heart to see nature thriving alongside us. They know you’re there so they somewhat trust you to have a den so close
I had the same experience last year , mum would come into the garden first and then call out to the pups to join her, I spent hours watching them from the kitchen window , so adorable.
We get foxes regularly in our garden (Just outside Bristol)

We get hedgehogs, frogs and sloworms. We also had badgers at one time
We’ve also got foxes living under our shed (Kent). I think I’ll have a look after dark and see if I can spot them out and about, rather than just finding their poos on my lawn. We recently saw one of the parents over in next door’s garden during daylight.
